Genesis
~John Calvin Rezmerski

Stories of creation
written on the belly of an old woman --
stretch marks like butterflies
flapping as she turns, bends,
laughing at children laughing
at things on her face
they do not know she is not ashamed of.
Laughing too at her holding hands
with the old man with tired pockets,
the two of them children together
laughing.
She bears children in her sleep,
he teaches them how to dream:
children laughing, eating apples,
not smelling what he smells,
the sweat of the land coming out of apples.
he thinks of the children copulating,
she of them laughing, not cruelly.
Do not chide the children,
they are remembering things before they happen.

cancer redefined

cassiopeia is the most obvious



but even all the rest:

cancer, taurus, scorpio,

orion's belt,

capricorn, the bear,

the virgin;

the "constellations" we perceive,

the endless ones we don't:



all misinformed manifestations

of

us.



as the mill of the zodiac ground

from the age of leo into the age of

aquarius

all that happened

is that the sun bounced through skies

and into and through serpents.

from one, into the next.



connect the dots:



let your finger trace through the lights in the sky:



snakes.



the stars are endless contour drawings

of snakes.





the heavens are a mirror





or





whatever we say they are.
